About Me

I use the same methods in my soap making, that have been used for over 200 years! My passion for this craft stems from my daughter’s sensitive skin and eczema. When store bought soaps seemed to aggravate the problem, I began researching lye soaps, and what began as a help to my family, has now become a family business! After using the lye soaps, My daughter’s skin became smooth with hardly any break outs, others noticed this and began asking me to make soaps for them. Today, My bath and body care line includes: soaps in several scented essential oils, oatmeal soaps, poison ivy soaps, bath salts, oils and more! I sell in many local and online venues, check them out!

All of my soaps are made from the least amount of ingredients to better provide a soap suitable for all skin types. My ingredients are as pure and simple as nature made them! The basic base for all of my soaps are this: lard, canola oil, purified water, and lye. Each recipe is then enriched with an additive to make it a truly unique soap. Old Fashioned Body Care does not add harsh perfumes, detergents or other harmful ingredients which can cause harmful irritations or exasberate skin sensitivities. See: sometimes LESS IS BEST!!!
